Reach for this book if your teen is captivated by historical mysteries, the life of Nikola Tesla, or stories about siblings navigating life after a major loss. It is an excellent choice for a young reader who questions the boundaries between what we can prove through science and what we believe through intuition. The story follows five sisters and their spiritualist mother from New York to London and eventually onto the deck of the ill-fated Titanic. While the looming tragedy of the Titanic provides high-stakes tension, the heart of the novel is about Jane's growth as she balances her mother's world of séances with her own passion for Tesla's scientific inventions. It explores grief and the search for identity in a world that is rapidly changing. Parents should be aware of themes involving death and the supernatural, though the tone remains focused on curiosity and the resilience of the sisters as they face both natural and man-made disasters.
